Just failed it's MOT so will be selling for parts.

Hi Skegga - mine's up for sale. Its an SDI diesel - have a look.

Bump. Still for sale.

Make: VW Lupo SDI 53 reg MOT: August 2022 (failed) Engine size: 1716 CC Fuel type: Diesel Milage: 93k Location: York £30 tax *************************** - new windscreen motor fitted April 2023 - new exhaust fitted December 2022 - new brake discs and pads fitted, water pump fitted March 2021 - new battery, alternator, pedal box, front suspension arms, new drivers door hinge. - decent DAB stereo. Red seats. - Some rust around wheel arches Price: open to offers

Did just that - borrowed multimeter and found a good vid on You Tube - and as Skezza mentioned it looked to me like the radio and DAB aerial (both put in by previous owner .....). Decided to pay someone to do a good check over - I was a bit concerned in case I'd missed something - and he confirmed and fixed it. All good. Cheers for your help and advice. On to bodywork which I'm much more comfortable with.

Cheers - will do.

Yup it's going to be a load of joy! Last car I had to tinker with was a MK1 fiesta which was great. Won't make any references to the similarity between my lupo and baked bean tins .... 🙄 At the moment I'll be satisfied with sorting out the battery draw.

Hi Hi MK2 - thanks for your advice. I'm very new to this. What is the EGR, what does it do and where can I find it? It sounds serious.

Thanks Skezza! Am new to this, could you give me any pointers to look for? I didn't get install instructions as part of when I bought it. Cheers.

G'day - new (to me) Lupo owner here in York. Silver SDI diesel ... pretty sure I've seen a very similar one blasting around around here too! Got a few things to sort out - few paintwork issues, fan only operating at level 4 (think it's the resistor from other posts on this forum) and non-functioning rear windscreen wiper and washer. Currently have a flat battery though so one thing at a time!

It has - the previous owner to me had put in a blaupunkt

My Lupo had a brand new battery in September. I use it pretty much daily but it's been on the driveway for less than 2 weeks, and it's flat as a pancake. Anyone have any ideas?
